How to change game/launcher language

Hi, some of you might want to know how to change the game and launcher language (text and voices) without re-installing the whole game, read this !

First : the launcher !

Go to your game directory in the "Air" folder (my directory for example is E://League of Legends/Air/)
Open the properties file name "locale" with any notepad program

You should have something like "locale=xx_XX" in the file.

If you want the launcher in English change xx_XX by en_GB.
If you want the launcher in French change xx_XX by fr_FR.
If you want the launcher in Spanish change xx_XX by es_ES.
If you want the launcher in Deutsch change xx_XX by de_DE.

Now the game itself !

It's the same method.
Go in the Game folder, then in the CFG folder (E://League of Legends/Game/CFG/)
Open the "game" file with notepad.
On the second line you have "LanguageLocaleRegion=xx_XX", once again change the xx_XX by what you want !

Well you can also change the voice of the game, but keep the text ger/spa/fr/en.

I will show this for english users who wants to hear the german sounds ingame (you can do it for every other language, it's just an example )
To do this you have to go to your \League of Legends\Game\DATA\Sounds\FMOD Folder and backup your VOBank_en_US.fsb and VOBank_de_DE.fsb (you should restore these both this, if there's a patch on his way) then you name the original VOBank_en_US.fsb "VOBank_de_DE.fsb" and vice versa.
This should change the sound of the game and leaves the original text like it was (in this case, english text and german sound)

I hope this could help someone who want's to play in another language

It's not working for me in v1.0.0.86
It ignores what I set on LanguageLocaleRegion, though it worked before. Any hint?

That's weird, I just checked and it's still working for me.
In which language was your game installed ?
